内容説明

The Zoroastrians are the followers of the Iranian Prophet Spitaman Zarathushtra. They entered recorded history in 550 BCE and for nearly 1,000 years their religion flourished as the imperial religion of three great Iranian empires. During this period, Zoroastrianism was a dominant religion, and its beliefs influenced Judaism, Christianity and later Islam. The vast extent of their empire brought the Zoroastrians in contact with people of different races and traditions. Their willingness to absorb and adapt to these influences led them to develop a distinct art form.This lavishly illustrated volume attempts to span a vast period of time and gives a glimpse of the life and times of the Zoroastrian people in Iran and India as manifested in their art, religion and culture.
